Turbo back exhaust & remap?

[andy_lang]

Hi guys,

Im getting my full system downpipe, de-cated Powerflow exhaust fitted this avo! CANT WAIT!!! Got the usual supporting mods but wondering whether to go for a Stage 2 (after xmas, once I got some mahuna again!!!), and then once the FMICs on itll be purring. Or get a stage 1 and then up it later??

Just some advice from ya all who have done the same out there please

i'd say might as well get stage 2 because with the winter come it will be cool 4 about the next six months so u'll only feel the benefits when the summer hits, out of curiosity u getting custom turbo back or off the shelf miltek unit ?

 

[andy_lang]

Arrrr good point bud!!! So stage 2, and then FMIC easter time - spot on!

Its a custom cat back Powerflow, and a blue flame 3" downpipe and de-cat.

About 200bhp. thats what i got with a Milltek turbo back with decat and stage 1.

Its all about stage 2, cmon ppl ive only had my lc for 6 weeks and it was standard when i bought it, get on with it ; )

I'd say a little more, say 220-225 with the map and turboback,

with catback you'll pull 215-218 usually,

We are talking about a LC here yes?

215 with a cat back? lol? thats 35BHP gain, dont be daft, far to optimystic.

Im going from Dyno results mate, a map and turbo back got me 200BHP.

180BHP before.

Stage 2 is where its at.

20 bhp gain with a full turbo back and stage one, seems low, i know u dont see the gains from a stage 1 the same as an lcr but 200??

 

[CupraDaveG]

The Turbo back really doesnt free up that much, the Decat does more than the rest.

I had a perfectly healthy LC producing near on 180BHP. Here is the result after...

big drop in the Graph, stage 2 revo sorted it.

Stage 2 is where its at.

stage 1 map and catback dyno'd at 218 and 245lbft... you need to do some research matey lol auq 180 lc

stage 1 lc remap will se a similar output, a stage 2 LC with turbo back and intercooler should see circa 220-235


200 bhp at the flywheel? youve got running issues for a stage 2,

for example a stage one with evidence on a stock lc 180

No not 200BHP with stage 2! That was stage 1 and turbo back... It wasnt Revo but even still, Revo will get about 206BHP realistically, thats what JKM told me anyway.

I now have stage 2 with a whole list of mods and im producing 240BHP.

different cars act differently. But thinking youll get 35BHP from a cat back is rediculous, but hey, maybe im wrong.

Have you dynoed yours?

I think your getting confused or possibly have a pre 01 car running a Ko3?

Stage 1 map on an 01 onwards car will give anywhere around 210.
Removing the restrictive downpipe/cat and upgrading ads around 10bhp without mapping.
Add a stage 2/custom map to tweak and you should see 230-240 bhp.

so youve made a gain of 20bhp by fitting a cat back and a stage 1 map? Thats poor.
What year is your car?

 

[andy_lang]

RIGHT!! The results!!

OMG!!! !!!!

The sound is emmence - spot on! Lovely deep growl and a lovely rasp to it! Just sounds SO powerful ya know - exactly what I wanted!

Havent had it on the RR yet but results from my Liquid Gauge - before exhaust it was averaging 163bhp. After the 3" downpipe, de-cat and Powerflow exhaust its now averaging 178 and feels AMAZING! Putting my foot down in 6th is like dropping one and half gears ya know............. Just spools up so much faster and ive gained an extra 2psi of boost?? Used to be 10psi peaking at 12, now its 12 peaking at 14psi reaching 14.7 last night?!!! But now it seems my clutch is slipping :'( Strange how its suddently just gone! humph - job for the wknd then! But the cars on 104k and done its fair share of track days and still the original one!

Im gona go straight in at a stage two - as pointed out I got til least easter to get the FMIC fitted to match it & HOPEFULLY Ill be looking for circa 240 bhp how its set up at the moment.

But DEFO the decat is where its at - who ever hasnt got it, DO IT!! hehehehe
